Question

Ok, so I'm learning about mass and volume and density.

I'm confused about this research card I'm doing.
Alright, if the mass is greater than the volume the object should sink in the liquid. right?

Object 9- mass=99.0 Volume=44.0 and it sinks. Density=.222

please someone explain why it sunk when the volume is greater than the mass.

(for comparison purposes).

Object 10- Mass 42.0 Volume 461.0 and it floats. density is .090

please help me .-.

Answer 1

I believe it's because density is how dense something is. So even if the volume(how much space it takes up in an object) is greater, if the densitity of the object is greater then the density of the water it will sink.
